I absolutely love philosophy a lot buy find it gets really bogged down by heavy wording and can often motivate you into ideas that make sense until you step back and realise it's nuts (looking at you Ayn Rand). I'm looking for a book that can contextualise and discuss philosophy in a digestive way. One I've found is "The Good Place and Philosophy: Everything is Forking Fine!" By Irwin, William, Engels, Kimberly S but found it covered too broad of a topic. And obviously it's covering an entire show that's an introduction to moral philosophy. Some chapters talk about absurdism (which i subscribe to and think is sick) and others cover Solipsism or nihilism which I don't care about and don't find interesting. Although I would find it interesting to expand upon and have more context on.
I just finished reading "The Pig that Wants to be Eaten" by Julian Baggini and really enjoyed it too. I found it to be a nice little bit into a lot of different thought experiments and giving them each their own time and exapanding them to sometimes say "I know this sounds dumb but hear me out" and then expand "Would you rather high art or low art" into a question of hedonism and how we judge art as a whole.
I really love just getting to the end of the day, laying down and reading a book that is able to make me think and learn about Philosophy that doesn't get too overly convoluted or tangled up. I just wanna relax and calmly think, not re-establish the deep morality of my psyche
I know this is a little broad but id love to find more of. I know there's books discussing the philosophy of specific shows or games but I'd rather look at the philosophy and thinking side of it rather than how someone's viewing how the writer of a piece of media is viewing philosophy. It gets too muddy in translation and interpretation
